- 2. 2© GreySpark Partners 2017 New challenges for an electronic trading world • Electronic Trading is increasingly under the spotlight. • Regulators, Auditors, Compliance, Operational Risk. • ALL firms who provide electronic services need to demonstrate oversight, training, and a deep understanding of the protective controls framework. • Governance - Documentation, evidencing, testing. Complexity Regulation Risk Technology Commoditised Controls
- 3. 3© GreySpark Partners 2017 MiFID II Article 17 RTS 6 Organisational requirements of investment firms engaged in algorithmic trading. • “the potential risks arising from algorithmic trading can be present in any trading model supported by electronic means and deserve specific attention and regulation” • “the organisational requirements to be met by all investment firms engaging in algorithmic trading, providing direct electronic access (DEA) or acting as general clearing members”

- 8. 8© GreySpark Partners 2017 10 point checklist • Accommodate kill switch functionality • Have real-time order and trade surveillance on a cross-asset basis with full case management. • Review the trading firm’s IT business continuity, business, operational and cyber risk documentation on an annual basis and demonstrate that suitable levels of testing on the standards were performed. • Review, evidence and document all related trading limits and have ability to test those methodologies as required. • Annual Audit of above, and assume responsibility even when outsourced
- 9. 9© GreySpark Partners 2017 A hard nut to crack Demonstrating governance and oversight is not easy. Multiple asset classes, all with bespoke processes. Lack of centralise knowledge, policies and procedures. The controls framework, the documentation, and the knowledge does not sit with one person or one team. Documentation is fragmented – at best.
- 10. 10© GreySpark Partners 2017 How to implement this properly Standardisation. GreySpark have developed a methodology and process to capture the controls across all platforms in a consistent manner. It is clearly labour intensive, manual, and requires a high degree of care and attention to minimise mistakes. Having a dedicated team is critical to capture the consolidated governance, policies & processes and evidencing the controls. Outsourcing the effort will minimise the risk of delivery. This does not exclude the need for internal teams to be involved – the contrary.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Electronic trading within capital markets has surged over the past decade. The complexity of the technologies and the offerings and operate models around those technologies continues to grow. More venues Faster routes to market. Faster processing power to trade across multiple venues More common access to Co-located services. Complex trading algorithms – making-markets, increasing liquidity. … and the provision and adoption of low-latency, high performance DSA, DMA, DEA services makes such trading capabilities AVAILABLE to many more firms than ever before. Prompted by the so-called flash crash, and a number of high profile system failures and cases of market abuse… …Not surprisingly, the automated nature, speed and increasing complexity of this whole ecosystem has become a specific area of interest to the regulators with regard to firms’ overall GOVERNANCE and RISK CONTROLS FRAMEWORKs. Conversely, the same elements are in laser sharp focus of the firms’ operating boards, given the consequences of non-compliance in the context of the Senior Manager’s Regime.
- So that’s the global backdrop and sentiment behind many regulatory changes. Let’s home in on this region in particular… As stated in Recital 59 of the overarching MiFID 2 level 1 text…’the potential risks…..” Article 17, of that same regulation turns its sights on “ the organisational requirements to be met …..” Herein lies the indication of the scale of this particular regulation – not just the end-to-end nature of the requirements – we’ll come on to those, and the REACH of the governance within an organisation in a moment – but more importantly the TYPES of organisations that are caught by this regulation, and across many more asset classes than before. Many won’t have systems and controls of this scale in place to meet these demands. These are the hedge funds, buy-side dealing desks, smaller brokers and others who control their own algorithmic processes who access the market via their own or DEA services.
- So for the first time ever… RTS6 and the legal elements of the delegated acts specify the systems, procedures, arrangements and controls … the requirements for systemic risk avoidance and governance… … into a single framework, against which firms will report, train and be accountable for annual reviews. It defines:
- Greyspark Partners believes that there are 10 things that trading firms must have in place for MiFID II RTS 6 compliance by January 2018.
- We recently published an article discussing the need for a ‘Pit Crew’ to help firms who are now firmly embedded in this Formula 1 world of electronic trading. Over the past 5 years, we have developed controls and best practises for electronic trading, and tools to help firms capture and evidence their controls in a manner that simplifies the presentation of this data to regulators and auditors.
- For our implementation guide and more details about the regulations and our methodology, please come and speak to the Greyspark guys at Booth 10 in the auditorium. Thank you. Any questions?
